Background Info Hide
I take 1000 mg of metformin daily. Never had any symptoms of diabetes. Didn't know I even had it until I had some routine blood work done. I don't feel bad at all. Is this normal for a diabetic?

Dear reader. Yes, having glucose numbers from 106 - 133 are good. I would be thrilled to work with people with diabetes who have glucose numbers in this range. But your question leads me to recommend that you enroll in some diabetes self management education/training classes. It is obvious that you don't know very much about your diabetes. You can also read the columns and articles on the dLife website. Ask us more questions as you learn about your diabetes. We love helping you out.

Some people feel funny and some people dont. When I found out my bs was in the high 400 but I felt no different. Your numbers are at the lower end of the diabetic scale. I would for sure keep monitoring and eat healthy and exercise to ward this off.

these are really good numbers! But the numbers you really need are 1 and 2 hours after eating -- spot check these. No 1 hour number should be > 150, no 2 hour number >120. And fasting (right out of bed) <125. This should keep your A1C <6.
